The DTC non-alcoholic industry has become increasingly popular since 2018 driven by consumers’ desire for “better-for-you” beverage options and innovation within the non-alcoholic beverage space.
And with this popularity, many companies are investing and capitalizing on this trend in recent years.
Heineken, for instance, bet big on its non-alcoholic beer and bought $54 million in 2020 sales. Athletic Brewing Company sent over 100,000 barrels of beer out their door in 2021. And, IWSR reports that the total volume of no-alcohol and low-alcohol beverages hitting the global market is expected to grow by 31% by 2024.
Add in the fact that many people try out Dry January at the beginning of the year and you can see why these businesses are seeking to make your drink options anything but dull. Whether you’re looking for a non-alcoholic wine, gin, or beer to keep your resolutions or seeking a longer term lifestyle change, there are plenty of options available.
